Before you can connect your USB-C hub, it's crucial to select the right one for your needs. Consider the ports you require, such as USB-A, HDMI, SD card readers, or Ethernet. Ensure that the hub is compatible with your laptop or PC's USB-C port, which supports both data transfer and power delivery.

Ensure that your laptop or PC is powered on and ready to use. It's also a good idea to close any unnecessary applications to prevent potential conflicts during the connection process.

Locate the USB-C port on your laptop or PC. This is typically found on the sides of the device. Take the USB-C end of the hub and gently insert it into the port. You should feel a slight click as it connects. If your hub requires external power, plug the power adapter into an outlet and connect it to the hub.

Step 4: Connect Peripherals

Now that your USB-C hub is connected, you can start plugging in your peripherals. Whether it's an external hard drive, a mouse, a keyboard, or a monitor, simply connect them to the appropriate ports on the hub. If you're connecting a device that requires power, such as a hard drive, ensure that the hub can provide enough power or use an external power source for the device.

Step 5: Verify Functionality

——————————

After all your peripherals are connected, verify that they are functioning correctly. Check that your external devices are recognized by your laptop or PC, and that they are working as expected. If you encounter any issues, ensure that the devices are securely connected and that the hub is compatible with your system.
